<p class="large text-muted">Mike is a data scientist tackling challenges in economics and sociology research. His work is diverse and includes agriculture, mental health, digital economy and other topics. Within his research group, he is also responsible for data management and data strategy.</p>
<p class="large text-muted">Mike has a PhD from the University of Edinburgh, where he studied snow hydrology. His research was based around a historic dataset (Snow Survey of Great Britain), which he used to demonstrate a link between snow cover and climate fluctuations and better understand snow cover and melt frequency through computer simulation, machine learning and statistics. You can read more about Mike's research on his blog, <a href="http://scottishsnow.wordpress.com" target="_blank">scottishsnow</a>.</p>
<p class="large text-muted">Prior to Mike's return to university he worked as a hydrologist for Environment Agency Wales and Halcrow Group Ltd. Mike worked on projects including river and coastal flood mapping, flood defence scheme design, river re-alignment, flood forecasting (operationally and model development) and flood risk assessment. Mike graduated from Lancaster University in 2004 with a BSc (hons) in Environmental Science.</p>
<p class="large text-muted">Mike is a fellow of the <a href="http://www.rss.org.uk/" target="_blank">Royal Statistical Society</a> and member of the <a href="https://society-rse.org/" target="_blank">Society of Research Software Engineers</a>.</p>

<h2>Data science</h2>
<p class="item-intro text-muted"></p>
<p class="text-muted">Mike has extensive experience of working with multiple data sources and types to find answers. His support of a group of an economists and sociologists mean he's faced with a huge range of problems. These include, agricultural, supply chains, mental health, digital connectivity, climate modelling and others.</p>
<p class="text-muted">Mike's software stack of choice includes (but isn't limited to) Git for version control, Bash for managing many files and R for analytics and as a general purpose language. Using R gives him access to a wide library of statistical and data tools. Mike uses programming for the whole data pipeline, from cleaning to publication.</p>
<p class="text-muted">Here are some data science projects that Mike is currently working on:
<ul class="text-muted">
<li><a href="http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3519006" target=_blank>Mapping shortest path travel networks for resilient communities.</a></li>
<li><a href="http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3707999" target=_blank>Understanding efficiency in the food supply chain, estimated through the lens of trading patterns.</a></li>
<li><a href="http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3519210" target=_blank>Modelling the impact of climate change on Scottish ski centres.</a></li>

<h2>GIS</h2>
<p class="item-intro text-muted">Geographic Information Systems/Software</p>
<p class="text-muted">Mike has used GIS since 2005 to analyse and manage data and inform decisions. He is an expert user of most GIS products (e.g. QGIS, GRASS, ESRI, MapInfo), providing national support for the Environment Agency (2006-2008) and supervising MSc GIS students. He's been working recently on <a href="http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3519006" target=_blank>network analysis</a>. Here's an <a href="https://mikerspencer.carto.com/viz/c7cf448e-2727-11e6-8d2f-0ecd1babdde5/public_map" target=_blank>interactive example</a> which gives the distance between all 1.6M GB postcodes and their nearest train station.</p>

<h2>Blog</h2>
<p class="item-intro text-muted">scottishsnow</p>
<p class="text-muted">Mike's began his scottishsnow blog to document his PhD research. Now his PhD is finished, he's decided to keep writing about general methods and results that he finds of interest. His most popular posts cover the R programming language and software for open (geo)science.
Mike's favourite posts are:
